well, i can only speak for myself and my daughters...no, they can't cook, i can sorta cook, kinda getting good at it...my mom never taught me, so i have to learn about it as i go along. I'm teaching my daughters to cook now. cuz b4 they act like they're gonna starve or something if i don't cook. how hard is it to heat up something in the microwave even? i tell them being a good cook is a good skill. wouldnt a man like a woman who can cook good? anyways there's lots of things im trying to do better now.
